What makes Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-inflammatory Acupoint Injection different?

1. It is an anti-inflammatory soothing procedure that does not contain steroid components.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-inflammatory Acupoint Injection differs from commonly used triamcinolone (TA) class steroid injections.

While steroids quickly reduce inflammation, there is a possibility of side effects such as skin atrophy, hyperpigmentation, capillary dilation, or rebound worsening of inflammation.

Therefore, repeated use may be limited, and it may be somewhat unsuitable for long-term skin management.

Here, we use an aseptically refined herbal acupoint injection solution containing ingredients such as Coptis, Gardenia, Scutellaria, and Phellodendron, which possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

It contributes to calming inflammation by supporting the skin's natural recovery process.

It contains no steroid components and has the advantage of reducing the burden on the skin barrier or tissues after the procedure.

2. Unlike general anti-inflammatory injections, its effectiveness is not limited to acute inflammation.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-inflammatory Acupoint Injection can be directly injected into acute inflammatory reactions such as red, noticeably hot acne, papules, and pimples to induce soothing.

Clinically, redness, pain, and swelling often show signs of relief, typically within 1-3 days.

However, it is not a procedure whose effect is limited only to the acute phase, unlike general anti-inflammatory injections.

It can be applied again without burden to areas where inflammation repeatedly recurs, such as the chin, cheekbones, forehead, and around the mouth.

It reduces concerns about the cumulative side effects of steroids and can be considered as a long-term inflammation management solution.

According to research results combining Coptis Detoxification Acupoint Injection,

After 10 weeks of once-weekly treatment, the acne inflammation grade (based on KAGS) was reported to have significantly improved (changed from an average of 3.59 to 1.95, p<0.001).

Thus, the ability to manage not only acute inflammation but also recurrent inflammation together is one of the main features of this treatment.

3. It can reduce the burden of side effects caused by steroid treatment and allow for repeated treatments.

Steroid injections carry the risk of side effects such as skin atrophy, depressions, and vascular dilation when injected multiple times into the same area.

Due to this, even if inflammation continuously occurs in the same area, continuing to receive the procedure can be burdensome.

However, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-inflammatory Acupoint Injection works by regulating rather than suppressing immune responses, so repeated application can be considered even in areas where inflammation recurs.

It can be considered particularly suitable for individuals with thin or sensitive skin, or those who frequently undergo laser procedures.

4. The Secret to High-Precision Procedures – A Difference in Our Treatment Approach

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic limits the number of patients who can receive treatment per day.

This is approximately one-third the number compared to other clinics in the same industry, and it aims to help patients receive consultations in a relaxed treatment environment.

It's not just about providing comfort; it's a crucial foundation that enables more precise procedures focused on the patient's reactions.

During the anti-inflammatory acupoint injection procedure, we meticulously observe the patient's real-time skin reaction,

for areas where inflammation repeatedly occurs, we adjust the acupoint injection dosage,

or for border areas where inflammation might spread, the procedure is performed by widely dispersing the injection to prevent its spread.

Rather than a simple 'mechanical procedure,' we perform 'adjustable procedures' tailored to each patient.

In other words, beyond simply injecting the herbal acupoint solution,

based on clinical data indicating that "inflammation may recur in this area," and considering the possibility of recurrence when designing the procedure,

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Anti-inflammatory Acupoint Injection can be said to be a procedure with high density and precision.

Anti-inflammatory Acupoint Injection may be considered for these individuals

1. Those who frequently experience inflammatory acne accompanied by redness and heat

It can be considered especially if inflammation repeatedly recurs in fixed areas such as the chin, around the mouth, or cheekbones.

When heat or pain repeatedly occurs in the pre-inflammatory stage, a proactive procedure may also offer preventive benefits.

2. Skin with concerns about side effects from steroid anti-inflammatory injections

Those with thin or sensitive skin who are concerned about the occurrence of depressed scars,

or those who have experienced skin atrophy or hyperpigmentation after past steroid injection procedures, it can be considered as an alternative.

3. For those who feel burdened by taking oral medications such as antibiotics or other sebum control agents

This procedure is performed solely through treatment, without any internal medication.

It is a suitable method for those who desire local anti-inflammatory management that acts directly on the inflamed area.

4. Patients concerned about recurrent inflammation leading to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

If you have skin characteristics prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after inflammation subsides,

calming the skin with medicated acupuncture at the early inflammation stage can help prevent pigmentation.

5. For those who desire short-term soothing effects along with long-term management to prevent recurrence

While anti-inflammatory medicated acupuncture is useful for suppressing inflammation in the short term,

it may be even more suitable for preventing skin recurrence and stabilizing overall skin rhythm by regulating immune responses.

Effects of Anti-inflammatory Medicated Acupuncture

1. Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines – rapidly calms redness and swelling

Active ingredients such as berberine, baicalin, palmatine, and crocin, extracted from traditional Korean medicinal herbs like Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron amurense, and Gardenia jasminoides,

are involved in reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, which trigger inflammatory responses.

Through this, warmth, redness, swelling, and pain in the inflamed area can be alleviated within 1 to 3 days.

2. Regulation of oxidative stress – contributes to reducing tissue damage and scar formation

Baicalin in Scutellaria baicalensis and crocin in Gardenia jasminoides help eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS),

and play a role in protecting skin cells from oxidative damage.

These actions are effective in reducing the risk of post-acne pigmentation or atrophic scars that may occur,

and are expected to support the recovery process of the dermal layer.

3. Regulation of immune response – stabilizes recurrent inflammation

Steroid components have a mechanism that suppresses immune responses.

In contrast, medicated acupuncture components help regulate the balance of immune responses, guiding the skin to prevent overreaction.

This principle can be particularly useful for those who frequently experience recurrent inflammation in the same area,

and can help gradually stabilize the skin's repetitive inflammation patterns.

4. Antibacterial and antifungal action – may help with acne bacteria (P. acnes), folliculitis, etc.

Berberine from Coptis chinensis and palmatine from Phellodendron amurense are ingredients with strong antibacterial properties.

They are known to exert a direct inhibitory effect on bacteria that cause acne or folliculitis.

It is effective for managing inflammatory acne or skin troubles where secondary infection due to external irritation is suspected.

5. Skin barrier recovery support – promotes the recovery of sensitive skin

Anti-inflammatory medicated acupuncture contributes to preventing dermal structure damage by inhibiting the activity of MMP (Matrix Metalloproteinase) in skin cells,

and is expected to aid in the recovery of the skin barrier damaged by inflammation.

It is also suitable for calming inflammation in sensitive skin conditions, such as after laser treatments or chemical peels.
